Consideration's when choosing short body fish.

Well it depends on what you are breeding, if you are crossing Amphilophus with another Amphilophus its gonna be fertile but if your crossing Amphilophus with say Herichthys then you are crossing outside the genus and can get sterility.

And (hopefully soon) I wont have to deal with any of those problems. Every cross I make after the first one will be back to the orginal pure species. Even though 75% pure should be enough to produce fertile males I still intend to continue to introduce pure blood.

Nuh uh, blood parrots are make with a red devil and severum!

lol, although I do question the veracity of such reports I have to wonder what could be accomplished in a lab.

I wasn't serious but claims like that make me laugh.

Wonder what an sb Jack Dempsey would look like?

 

[izzy_here]

They're so long, that could look weird, lol! On the other hand it could be awesome.

Not electric blues, way too unsound for my taste.

[izzy_here]

Very nice pickup, I agree on the sellers, both seem very good. I've met and talked with Ekk on a forum and through yahoo messenger, very nice guy.
